What does the share of awards mean?
Natural Sciences accounts for 3.1% of the awards or completions reported for Dominican University. That award concentration is higher than at 86% of schools in this field set and is 1.9x the national average award concentration. It does not estimate how many students are currently enrolled in the program.
How should I read the cost number?
Dominican University's average net price is $11,745 per year, about $46,980 over four years. That is $6,188 below the $17,933 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $60,327 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $5,804 above the $54,523 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
Start with award concentration, net price after aid, graduation rate, location, and whether the department publishes placement or licensure outcomes. EduGradify places Dominican University #21 of 98 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
